Things that pop into my head reading this:
- if you are choosing between heating and eating today, there is no way you are thinking about your retirement tomorrow
- going from one low wage job to another in quick succession makes contributing and tracking #pensions hard
- how many ‘self employed’ people are forced into this way of working by actual employers dodging their contributions?
